Recently, a sad tragedy occurred in Xiamen Technician College. A 25-year-old class teacher, Xu Mouhui, committed suicide by jumping from the college building, an incident that attracted widespread attention and discussion.
According to reports, Xu Mouhui is the head teacher of the 2023 mold class of the mechanical department of Xiamen Technician College, and he went to work at 8:24 am on December 4 wearing a school uniform and a work card, but then jumped off the balcony of the corridor. The incident brought great shock and grief to his family and colleagues.
Regarding the cause of this incident, Xu Mouhui's sister said that she thought that her younger brother was because of the unreasonable work arrangement of the school, which led to increased teaching pressure and work pressure, and finally chose to commit suicide. She pointed out that the school's work arrangement for Xu Mouhui was too heavy, including requiring him to complete a large number of teaching plans and filling in teaching logs in a short period of time, which made his work pressure huge.
According to the chat records provided by Xu Mouhui's sister, Xu Mouhui once expressed in the chat that "the teaching plan can't be completed", "the class schedule is too big", "too tired" and other content, these expressions also confirm her worries about her brother's work pressure. In addition, she also pointed out that the school did not communicate with the family in a timely manner after the death of her brother, which made it impossible for the family to know the specific situation, which further exacerbated the family's suffering.
Regarding the incident, a staff member of Xiamen Technician College said that the matter is still under investigation, and it is also communicating with the family, and the specific details are inconvenient to disclose. At the same time, he also said that the school has taken a series of measures to deal with this incident, including strengthening students' mental health education and providing psychological counseling services.
This incident has aroused people's attention and reflection on the pressure of education work. Educators are overly stressed at work, which not only affects their physical and mental health, but can also negatively impact students' growth and the quality of education. Therefore, education departments and schools need to strengthen the attention and management of the workload of teachers and staff, and reasonably arrange the workload and tasks to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.
At the same time, all sectors of society should strengthen their understanding and support for educational work, respect the achievements and contributions of educators, and create a better working environment and conditions for them. For educators themselves, they also need to learn to reasonably regulate their emotions and pressure, and seek appropriate psychological support and help to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
